Ever wondered how the World Skateboarding Ranking operates on the Road To LA28?

One of the big challenges of any open-format competition series is how to bring through opportunities for entry.

The World Skateboarding Ranking is an ongoing, cumulative event-by-event points update in the two current Olympic skateboarding disciplines of Street and Park.

As the leaderboard of the World Skateboarding Tour, the WSR establishes eligibility for skateboarders on the World Skateboarding Tour to progress into the Olympic Games every four years.

The World Skateboarding Tour has two current tiers of events: World Cup events which are more frequent but with slightly lower point attribution, and annual World Championship events in both Street and Park, which carry the highest point-weighting.

This ‘rolling’ 18-month ranking easily allows new events to be added while allowing new skateboarders to join the Tour along the way without a points mountain to climb.

With benefits such as pre-seeding into upcoming events on offer while the standard of skateboarding goes ever upwards throughout the World Skateboarding Tour, staying as far up the WSR leaderboard as possible is a clear strategy for maximising your chances of qualifying for the Olympic Games.
